I have 2 questions in mind that I can’t find any clear answers in the docs: 1. I’m a little confused over which package I should use when creating the resources. Should I be using the one in

@pulumi/aws

or the ones in

@pulumi/awsx

? Quite a number of resources are in both packages. For eg, I could create a security group through

aws.ec2.SecurityGroup

but also through

awsx.classic.ec2.SecurityGroup.

Both have some slight differences in their API interface. 2. When using the components in

@pulumi/awsx

, there are the same resources in the

awsx.classic.*

and

awsx.*

module. For eg, there is an

awsx.classic.lb.ApplicationLoadBalancer

and also a

awsx.lb.ApplicationLoadBalancer

. Yet, both have slight differences in their API interface too. From which module in the

awsx

package should I use when creating my resources?

As I understand it, the awsx.classic is the old typescript-only version of awsx, which is there for compatibility reasons. The awsx package in general provides some higher-level components that make some things easier than using the plain aws provider but you can mix aws and awsx if you want.

Ahh… In this case, I presume I should not be using any of the stuff in

awsx.classic.*

in a new project and should only mix between the

aws

and

awsx

top-level components, right?

Yes, that should be the approach I believe
